What We Believe

Our tenets of faith shape who we are as believers and how we operate as a congregation. Our tenets are Bible-based, and at the core of Miracle Church.

• We believe that the Bible is the infallible, inerrant Word of God.

• We believe in the Divine Trinity, that God is One, but if manifested in three Persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-being co-equal and co-eternal.

• We believe in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

• We believe that salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.

• We believe in the water baptism by immersion as a direct commandment of the Lord and that this ordinance is for believers only as a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.

• We believe that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in the dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth. Also, we believe that his experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance.

• We believe that healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands.

• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ shall return for the Church and that His coming is imminent.

• We believe that following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years.

• We believe that those who physically die in their sins without accepting Christ are hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire and, therefore, have no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting.

• We believe that the Lake of Fire is literal and the terms “eternal” and “everlasting” used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the lake of Fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the presence of God.

• We believe that the church should only sanction or conduct a marriage between a man and a woman; that God instituted marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family—the basic structure of human society; that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in other than in the context of marriage between a man and a woman.
